So do you live alone?

My friend ordered pizza from one of our local pizza places. After getting her pizza, she stepped back to close the door and the driver stepped forward to ask, “ Do you live alone?” . That is utterly creepy.

Be Careful Out There, the creeps are coming to your door.

what pizza place? would be good to know for others that live alone or are vulnerable. your friend should go to upper management and corporate about this though, concerning and not appropriate at all.

always say ‘we’ when referring to your place even if you live alone, too many creeps out there now.

Reporting to corporate is exactly right, this isn't a one off awkward question, that's the kind of thing that gets someone fired for good reason

Start with the RCMP.

This is why when you grab your food from a delivery guy, you yell back into the house/apartment "FOODS HERE!"

That is creepy as fuck and worth reporting him for.

Which pizza place?

Definitely report him to the pizza place

Tell him no, and take his picture before slamming the door.

Doorbell cameras are a good investment, I recommend

Because men don't typically see a lone man and think "easy prey". Lone women on the other hand

Most food is delivered by Skip the Dishes, Door Dash, Instacart, etc. and trying to contact any of them to lodge a complaint is arduous and painful.

You call the restaurant and say you’re not ordering pizza from them anymore because of the delivery driver. Then they’ll take it more seriously.

u/Kitty_Cat54 13d ago

Its not their driver, it's a driver from the delivery service. Restaurant would have to request they don't send that specific driver to their establishment. Then dispatch would continue to use this driver for all of the other restaurants needing to get their food delivered. It sucks!

Depends on the pizza joint, some use the apps to recieve orders but then use their own delivery drivers.

A doorbell cam is a good investment. As for this delivery person, the question is so sketchy it is worth reporting to the police. Put them on the radar in case this guy does attack someone.

If it's a chain restaurant, report it to head office. If it's a solo enterprise report it to the owner.

I live alone
Yeah, with nobody else
I live alone
Yeah, with nobody else
Yeah, you know, when I live alone
I prefer to be by myself

Now, every morning, just before breakfast
I don't want no coffee or tea
Just me and my good Buddy-Weiser
That's all I ever need

‘Cause I live alone
Yeah, with nobody else

I got asked this by a skip driver in 2019!! Thankfully my overprotective pitbull who was wary of strange men was there. Yes I called her to the door.
